Ice and Sleet = Kentucky Weather Nightmare

Good Friday morning.  It looks like we’re going to have to give the NAM model the cookie this go around.  It accurately predicted that the biggest impact from this storm would be across southern Kentucky. 

 

The radar trends show that the precip. is mostly confined to areas south of the BG Parkway and I-64 in Kentucky.  Counties south of here have reported nightmare travel conditions this morning, with heavy icing and very nasty conditions out there.  This will likely impact areas near Cobin and Richmond later this morning.

 

North of the parkways and I-64, conditions are not too bad this morning.  Just take your time.

 

Later this afternoon, the latest NAM run indicates that the precip. will stop and temperatures will warm to near the freezing mark.  This will allow roadways to be in better condition for the evening commute.  Just be VERY careful in southern Kentucky this morning.

 

Enjoy your weekend.  I probably won’t have another update until late in the weekend.
